BAY CITY, MI — Police say a 35-year-old Bay City parolee suffered at least one stab wound as a result of his attack on a woman, and that charges have been authorized against him.

About 5:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 25, police responded to a report of a person having been stabbed at a residence in the 1600 block of Third Street. They arrived to find the male resident who was stabbed was a parolee on tether.

A short time prior to the stabbing, the man had an altercation with another male, said Bay City Public Safety Lt. Joseph Lanava. Afterward, one of the men began arguing with a woman and attacked her, Lanava added.

The woman pulled a knife and stabbed her assailant in the chest, Lanava said, adding the man and woman had at some point been in a romantic relationship with one another.

The stabbing appeared to have been an act of self-defense, Lanava said.

The man was taken to McLaren-Bay Region hospital for treatment. He suffered a collapsed lung in the fracas, the lieutenant said.

On Monday, Oct. 28, the man visited the Bay County Circuit Court Probation/Parole Office and authorities arrested him on a charge of violating his parole, Lanava said. On Tuesday morning, Oct. 29, prosecutors authorized charges of assault by strangulation, a 10-year felony, domestic violence, third offense, and assault and battery, Lanava said.

As of 1:45 p.m. Tuesday, the man has not yet been arraigned in Bay County District Court.
